I think after having AArch64 back-end developers frustrated by the mountains
of dump output for two years it is a good time to relent...

This is OK with Kyrill's change applied.

Thanks,
James

Hi Andrew,

Hi,
   As reported in PR 61367, the aarch64 back-end is too verbose when it

I did NOT document it in invoke.texi because I don't feel like this is
an option which an user should use.  But I can add it if requested.

OK?  Bootstrapped and tested on aarch64-linux-gnu with no regressions.

ChangeLog:
* config/aarch64/aarch64.opt (mverbose-cost-dump): New option.
* config/aarch64/aarch64.c (aarch64_rtx_costs): Use
flag_aarch64_verbose_cost instead of checking for details dump.
(aarch64_rtx_costs_wrapper): Likewise.


I'm okay with the idea, but I can't approve (cc'ing people who can).
One nit:

+mverbose-cost-dump
+Common Var(flag_aarch64_verbose_cost)
+Enables verbose cost model dummping in the debug dump files.

You should add "Undocumented" to that.
I don't think the option is major enough to warrant an entry in invoke.texi.
It's only for aarch64 backend developers who know exactly what they're looking 
for.

Cheers,
Kyrill

[PATCH/AARCH64] Have the verbose cost model output output be controllable

[Andrew Pinski]

Hi,
  As reported in PR 61367, the aarch64 back-end is too verbose when it
is dealing with the cost model.  I tend to agree, no other back-end is
this verbose.  So I decided to add an option to enable this verbose
output if requested.

I did NOT document it in invoke.texi because I don't feel like this is
an option which an user should use.  But I can add it if requested.

OK?  Bootstrapped and tested on aarch64-linux-gnu with no regressions.

Thanks,
Andrew Pinski
